ln the practice hereunder, especially inc volving this disclosure forthe manufacture of hollow glassware. as bottles-the work may be shown asautomatically progressing in a mechanical sequence as timed by thecharging'or gather of molten glass supplied to the mechanism. a A

While the number of stations and character of work performed thereatmaybe varied tomeet convenience and the requirement-s of the output, asa simple apparatus conforming to a wide range of commercial demands,them disclosure -herein is presented as embodying .intermittent drivingin 60 steps at the' charging table or platform with the final' moldtable or platform operating in synchronism therewith as to the same.angu- The operations as grouped involve the supply of molten glass withoperation of a tripto effect shearing ofi or separation of such supply,with the packing of such supply down into a blank mold a d the neckfinish formed thereon. From this first sta- ;tion where thepacked downglass is blown 'i baet' up; from lthe neck finisher end 'ther'eofr inthe travel from the secondstation lto 'the aira station, na .blank mold,together with its semi-formed charge of still plastic glass, is orientedto bring the neck finish one may be even 'in excess o a tardy release ofthe neck finish as the final mold from the secondtable, or mechanismfromthe second or finish. table, engages, the

blank and withdraws it to position in'the A finish mold on thesectfr'i'd table? The second or finishj table rotates clockwise,as doesthe fir'st table, and in synchronismas 'transmitted 'by theintermediatel driving gear. From this third" or transfer station theblank is carried in the finish mold' 120 or two steps of' 60, to thefourth station for final blowing to complete the form of the 'charge.While the char esat station fifteen per minute,- the idle stationspermit sufiicient setting of the ware to-ret'ain superior form 'foruniformity in' a high grade output. From this fourth station or finalblowing to shape,

the` ware has a travel of two 60 steps to 'the fifth station where theformed ware may be removed from the finishmoldv and deposited away fromthe apparatus, as on a traveling conveyor.

The travel or drive stage, in so far as it is common'for recurrence ateach step, is given first complete description. The practice of theinvention as disclosed has its power actuation and sequence largelyinci-` dent to motive fiuid' control, and such may be compressed air.

Thev release of about (Figs.c2,f3, 4,) by flow of air in duct I 1 fromdownA in column 2 of the first table to tilt rocker 3 so that valve 4may permit flow of power Vair from line 5 past the 'valve 4 of thegeneral type of the valve shown in my Patent 1,217 ,102, February 20,1917, and 'thence throughduct 6 to the upper end of cylinder 7. Thismoves piston rod'fl8 downward in the vertical cylinder 7 to pulldownward'bar or lever 9 having a-fixed 'fulcrum or bearing 10 vmountedon base or truck body 12 `(Figs. 3, 11) having wheels 13 permittingready shifting of the apparatus. The lever 9 passes through verticalbar' 14, which bar 14 is guided by a bracket 11. The downwardv v ull ofthe piston rod l8 moves the bar or ever 9 to actuate thel vertical bar14 down- .g ward, thus withdrawing the bar 14 from opening 16 in gear 17rotatable onv the column 2.

The driving of the released apparatus may now be effected automatically,for the lever 9 in its travel,-has link 18 connected to' arm 19 forrocking valve 20. Thus ower air 'from linel 5 may pass b lway of lne 21through the valve 20 and' lne 22 for drawthe apparatus is broughtlspring 29, (Fig. 5) to enter opening'30 fiange extension 31, carriedbyaflo'ng toothed intermediate. driving gear 32 mounted on shaft 33coaxial with the segment 26.l

having snapped up into register with the 'opening 30, so that in'theinward travel of 'the piston rod 24 'as to the cylinder 23, the drivingtravel of the segment 26'is counterclockwise to the position shown inFig. 5 and the gear 32 is rotated therewith 180. The intermediate gear32 in this travel, on .one side is in mesh with the gear 17 rotatablymounted on the column 2, while on the opposite side, the gear 32 isingme'sh with a gear 34 rotatably mounted on a second column 36 '(Figs.3, 11) to drive the 74 finish table or platform 35.' c Q Opposite therack 25 of the extension of thepston rod 24 is rack 37 in mesh with halfgear segment 38 for giving alternating rotary travels of 180 todistributing' valve or tablel driving stroke of the piston rod 24,

The pin 28 (Fig. 3) is inl starting position, i

and the reverse or counter-clockwise in the recover travel. stroke ofthe rod 24.

Inasmuch as the60 forward step of the gear'17 clockwise as well as thesimultaneous lUU i clockwise-600 stepof the table 35 in each 'instancesafter the charging pause, is to be followed by another step in thesame'direction, and such continued, there is notl driving travel of thepiston rod 24 but only upon the inward stroke does the rod 24 drive thec table gears 17, 34. To bring this about, properly timed sequence ofair flow occurs from the distributing valve 39 as supplied from the line22 when the rod 24 nears the end of its inward stroke.

g This air from the'distributing valve 39 flows' by line 40 the'reto inthe gear 17 ,i thus holding the table rotatp ing on column 2 with thegear 17 against travel.

'This movement of the lever 9 also acts through the link 18 and/the arm19 to cause the valve 20 to cut of power air from the line 22, butsimultaneouslysupply power air from the line 21 to line 42 extending tocylinder 43, thrusting its horizontal piston rod 44 utwa'd. (Fgs- 3, 5,'11)- Ths piston-red.

neoaeao 44 `is cor'mectedl to angle lever arm 45,`the

otherl arm 46 'of Which angle le'ver in this thrust of therod44' strikesthe head of the pin l28, withdrawing such pin against the action of thespring 29 from the hole 30 in the flange 31, thus unclutching the* gear32 for idle recovery of the segment 26 to bring the .pin 28 into thediametrically opposite hole extends to the. opposite end of the cylinderI 23 from-the vline 22, and thus causes .a thrusting of the piston rod24' outward. In this recover or idle travel interval, the segment 38reverses the oscillation of the distributing valve ,39, whilel thesegment 26 traveling independently of the gear` 32, swings the pin 28 toride around on the underside of the flange 31 as it leaves the arm 46and is thrust upward by the spring 29, until the pin/28 enters thediametrical'ly opposite opening'30 in the fiange 31 andv is thusautomatically clutched to'the intermediate gear 32 for a' repetition ofthis cycle of driving operations as recurring between' each 60 stationof the tables at each charge of molten glass at the first station.Before the succeeding inward travel of the piston rod 24 can throwthegear 32 the next 180 air duct or line' 48 from.

the line- 22 causes a resetting of the arm ,46 upward clearing the Wayfor the pin 28 to make its full swing, for the air from the line 48forces the piston rod 44 inward as to the A as occurring during the stopinterval of thev gear 17 at the first station.

Air line 49 from the line 41 eXtends to valve 50 which may beconveniently opened ing punty to bear downward on lever 51- upondelivery 'of the charge of molten glass from the gather to the.apparatus, as by a slight movement of the glass charge carryfrom valve50 (Fig. 7). Power air is thus allowed to pass the main or startingvalve 50 and flow by line 52 to operate rocker 53 of valve 54, therebyperrfitting supply of power air from line 55 to pass by way of line 56and the valve 54 to/line 57v leading to horizontal shear cylinder 58 forthrusting 'forward its piston rod 59 extending'to crosshead 60 havinglinkage 61 connectedto shear 62 to sever the determined quantity ofmolten glass from the punty.

The crosshead 60 carries an upstanding pin 63, which in the outwardtravel lof the piston rod l59, strikes horizontal pin 64, normally,thrust theretowardby a spring 65. This movement of the plunge'r pin 64against the resistance of the spring 65, by the pin 63, .permits fiowof'power air from the duot 57 by branch line 66 past valve 67 carryingthe pin 64, and thence through line 68 to cause a return of the 'shearrocker 53 to initial position. This'permits flow of power air from theline 56 past the valve 54 through line 69 to'the outer end of theyhorizontal shear cylinder-58, eli'ecting av withdrawal of the piston rod59 into this cylinder, with 'an opening of the shear 62 on its fulcrum70 carried by the arm 71 extending radially from the column 2 adjacentthe first station. In this opening of the shear 62, the pin 63 on theorosshead 60 mv'es away from the pin or plunger 64, and the spring 65automatically resets the valve 67.

The power a/ir from the valve. 54 elfecting the closing of thelshear 62and thence passing through Ithe valve 67 to the line 68 has branchline,'72 fronrthe duct or line 68. This line'2 extends to ltilt rocker 73` at station two (Figs. 2, 6, 9); so that power air from the line 55may flow by way of line 74 past valve -7-5 through line 76 to the uppernth.

end of vertical plunger cylinder 77, therebyforcing head 78 downward atstation one, in

order that the valve therein unseated by contact with the chargereceiving mold therebelow, may permit flow of power air' from the line55 past a reducing valve through a flexible line 7 9 and the head 78 topack'the charge of molten glass downward into the charge receiving mold.This acking down operation is automatically o the desired brief intervalof time .as determined by the charge volume and the character of theware being produced.

The'line 76 from the valve 75 has a branch line 80 extending to aretarding valve 81 at station two. The delayed flow therefrom is by line82 to reset the rocker 73, thus cutting off power air flow from the duct76 and simultaneously allowing power air flow from the valve 75 by wayof line' 83 to the `lower end of the vertical cylinder 77 at stationone. The head 78 at once moves upward. As soon as this head 78 leavesthe charge receiving mold, the valve in the head 78 closes to precludefurther flow from the line 79.

The valve 98 and the cylinder 77 are mounted on radial arm 84 carried bythe column 2 above the shear arm 71 and at station one. A branch 85 ofthe line 83 affects resetting of the retarding valve 81.

lThe power air line 49, which when the platforms are at rest suppliesthe flow to initiate travel in due sequence after passing the valve '50,has a branch line 86 to cylinder 87 at station one on bracket 88 (Fig.6). This vertical cylinder 87 thus lhas neck finish plungei: 89 thereiiforced upward.. A.

branch linef from the line 86 (Fig. 2) ex-I tends to the charging.station horizontalf lclamp cylinder 91 carried' by auxiliary bracket 92(Fig. 6) mounted on the bracket 88. This air from the vli''e90f'forcesclamp or' holder is't'on 93`out of lthe cylinder 91 and-radial y inwardtowardsthe column 2 fonvembracing lugs 9d on thefpair of blankmoldlsectiolis ,95, 96.

Inuthe interval ofthe' travel'of the head "78, .aiidlproperly timedtherewith, according to the character of the ware, the, neck fin1sh,inthe instance of bottle manufacture,-

may be formed. To 'this end the line 83 has branch line 97 F igs. 2, 6)extending to yer- 'piston rod 8 into the vertical' lock. bar cylin- ,der7, but by branch line 100 vto the'top of the cylinder 87 withdrawing theplunger 89 downward' into guide. 101 (Fig. 6).A For more retardedwithdrawal of this neck finish plunger 89, the cut off valve 99 at thevalve 98 may be closed. Then when the plunger 78. approaches the top ofits return stroke, trigger .102 is moved upward against the resistanceof spring 103 to shift the valve 98 to permit air flow by way of linel04'from the line 83 to the valve 98 and from thencepast the open cutoff .valve 105 to the line 1.

` The spring 103 opens the valve 98 for flow past the valve 99 as thehead 78 lowers away from the trigger 102, so when the head 78 is to moveupward by air in the line 83, the valve 99 may be opened for earlywithdrawal of the neck finish plunger 8 9, or the valve 99 maybe closedand the valve '105 opened for more retardedwithdrawal of the neck finishplunger 89. In this latter instance ..the plunger 89 has the power airsupply started theretoward when the head 78 is fully'withdrawn.

' There project counter-clockwise from seat 106 in 'the top of the guide101 at station one, projections or auxiliary guides 107, 108 (Figs'. 6,8), insuring proper vertical positioning of the traveling parts inmoving to station one over the plunger 89. As a steady or vuide for theclamp head 93, there is provided overhanging arm. 109. For puffing softglass inl instances where. desired, so it may not fall before reachingthe nextv lstation during 'the intervalthe plunger 89 is away from theinner side of the finished I neck, valve 110 may be open to permit flowof air through the' neck finish plunger 89 as.

it 'is withdrawn.

hehee The moldsections 95, 96, are firmly held iit-station one and inclosed position for the of molten glass into the lower portion of theblank mold, while the neck finish plunger 89 has dul actediupwardly, Theline 100 has a branc line/111 to thinner or piston rod end of thehorizontal clamp cylinder 91, thus withdrawing the plunger 93 in properseason for releasing the blank mold sections' from vthe clamped heldposition at station one after the packing down of the charge and thecompletion'of the neck finish opera- 'tions. I Carried by the column 2to rotate thereon i with the gear 17 ,is the first table or platformvaction of the head 78 in forcing the charge 112 which has at 60intervals radally ex- 1 tending. housings or bearings '113 for barrelsof rota-table members 114.- carrying on the.

outer ends thereof bevel gears 115 adjacent disks 116npon'which theblank mold sec-v tions 95, 96, are pivotally mounted lto-sfl'wing from.open to closed. position. There is also pivotally mountedy on the disksi116, neck finish mold sections 117, 118 (Fig. 13), normally` heldVclosed by leaf'springs 119. Adjacent the neck finish sections and on theopposite side thereof from the blank. mold sections 95, 96, is themember 120 rigid with' the disk 1 16.

The sequence of operations following the withdrawal of the lock bar fromthe gear' 17,

rotates the table 112Hclockwise. 60 to bring the lmold sections 95, 96,vjust charged at station one, with'their carrying disk 116, to stationtwo, where the mold sections are held closed and a blowing up forpartial forming of the charge of molt'en glass into a blank may occur.

-The timing -andblowin back up vfor expanding the molten glam lankoccurs automatically.

121 to the loose end of vertical cylinder 122 for forcing upward itsplunger 123 toward themember 120,-traveling with the disk 116 The airiduct 49 from the lower i rocker valve 4 (Figs. 2, 9) has branch linefor unseating the valve in the plunger 123.

This unseating of the valve'in the plunger 123 permits flow of power airfrom the duct 42 leading from the lock bar rocker valve 20 to beproperly timed with the rest period [of the platform 112, so air mayflow to flexible line 125 and through reducing valve '126 to blow thepacked down molten4 glass' back up inthe blank mold .sections 95, 96,for expanding the blank. 'Ihis blowing into the blank from theplunger'123 is through .I

the finish or'formed neck'in the mold sections' 117, 118, above themember 120. The vertical cylinder 122 is mounted on 'a bracket 127 (Fig.9).

Before Ithis blowing of the blank back'u i occurs, there is a-firmholding of the mo] sections 95, 96, from above, for power air from thelower rocker valve 4 by way of the line 49 4flows into branch line 1282,

9) to the upper end of cylinder 129. This forces plunger 130 thereindownward so a lhelical spring 131 may yieldably hold embracing Lhead 132over the pair of closed mold sections 95, 96.- The neck finish sec-'tions 117, Vl18, are slightly embraced by the sections 95,96, and sopositively held closed here at stationstwo as also at station one. InEig. 9the neck finish is shown as a lip 133 upon the usual type of milkbottle, the mold sections 95., 117, being removed with the hingeportions thereof shown in section.

From the lower rocker valve 4, timed with the withdrawal of the Vlockbar 14 by power air flow through the line-6, this line 6 has branch line134 (Figs. 2, 9.) to the upper end of the lower vertical cylinder 122 atstation two, mounted on the bracket 127. This supply of power airwithdraws the plunger 123 simultaneously with the withdrawal of theplunger 89 at station one. As the plunger 123 moves downwardly to clearthe member 120, the valve in the plunger 123 automatically seatstopreclude escape of blowing air from the line 125. I

The line 134 extending to the lower vertical head 122 to withdraw orlower the plunger 123, has a branch line 135 to the lower end oftheupper. vertical cylinder 129 at station two, lto lift the holder ofhead 132 clear of the sections 95, 96. The valves 7 and 81- and thecylinder 132 are carried by radial arm 136 at stationgtwo, clampedjtothe upper threaded portion of the column 2 between the arms 71 and 84.

At theV charging station, as well as at the blow back up station ontable11.2, the mold 4`sections 95, 96, for the blank are normally held inclosedv position respectively by the clamp 93 and the holder 132. Thesemold sections 95, 96, as also the auxiliary neck finish mold sections117, 118, are mounted on pivot pin 137 (Figs. 9, 10), carried by a lugl38v(Fig. 1) projecting from the face of the disk 116. Each mold section95, 96, has laterally of its hinges, an ear 139 from which extendadjustable links 140 to ears 141 on a disk 144 in the barrel or bearing114. This disk 144 is fixed on a rod 142 surrounded by av helical spring143, normally reacting between the disk 144 and aslide 145. This slide145 in which the rod l42'is rotatably -.noiinted, carries a roller 146abutting nonrot-ary cam 147 fixedly mounted on the column 2.

Mounted ,on the columnA 2 and of about 120 angular extent clockwise fromadjacent the blow back up station, is a segment `148 for engaging thebevel gears 115. In the travel from this station two where the moldblank is blown, a pin 149 (Fig. 9) carried by the disk 116, is firststruck by the segment 148, giving a. definite tooth engagement for theclockwise orienting of the dis-k 116, 180 in the next 60 turn or step ofthe table 112, thus positively bringingv upward the neck finish4 end ofthe blank mold. In this turning operation, the disk 144 causes the rod142 to rotate in the slide 145.

At ,the end of this second 60 step from the Vcharging station, the cam147 (Fig. '10) has a short radius portion 150. In reciprocationof theslide-145' radially, its action is 'ipositi've in its inward travel toefiect opening of the blank mold sections' 95, 96, While in itsdirection of outward travel toward mold closing position, the spring 143makes thisl throw action yieldable.

As the mold charged with a blown blank reaches the end of the secondstep of 60 from the charging station, or arrives at station three, theshort radius portion 150 of the cam 147 as a fixed guide is in radialalignment with the roller 146 of the slide 145. From the lower rockervalve 4 and timed with the engaging of the lock bar 14, the lines 49,128 (Figs. 2, 11) permit power air fiow by line 151 to the inner end ofhorizontal cylinder 152 mounted on the segment at station three, tod/r'aw its piston rod 153 into said cylinder 152, thus rocking a lever154 mounted on the yegment 148. This lever 154 extends down ,6rd throughthe segment 148 tohave its lower end engage the roller 146, thrustingsuch roller into' the short radius portion 150 'of the cam or guide 147,

thus positively opening the lower or main blank mold sections 95, 96.

In order tliat there may be timin thereof during the idle or recovertravel 0% the piston rod 2 the line 42 has a branch line 1'55 to the ditributing valve 39, and air flow therefrom in determined sequence mayaccordngly occur while the Platforms are at rest, as by way of line 156(Figs.-2, 11) to horizontal'cylinder 157 carried by bracket 158 upon thecolumn 36 above the second table 35. This supply of air by the duct 156to the cylinder 157, thrusts piston rod 159 outward and thus slidesblock 160 rai dially away from the column 36 vin the guide 161.l l

In sequence after this throw by the cylinder 157, power air from theline 55 may flow' by fiexible line 162 (Figs. 1, 2) to valve 163 onfulcrum 172, carried by the block 160.

This rocking of theJ members 171 is toward closing position about theblank suspended in the open blank mold sections 95, 96, as held by theneck finish sections 117, 118, for

.'the out-ward travel of the b1oc'k`160 brings these jaws 171 intoproper position for such enga ing .action upon the ware blank. The A-ang ar position of .the cylinder, 167 so dis- 'poses the left jaw 171that its line' is nearly radial when open for clearing the blank as `itmoves in position theretoward.

The power air line 166 to the cylinder 167 .mhas a branch line 173(Figs. 2, 11) to the settle down to be suspended by the jaws 171.

The power air line166has a branch line 177 to the piston rod end of thecylinder 157 Figs; 2, 11) ,causing the piston rod 159 to aw the block160 toward the column 36,

- thus carrying theblank as sustained by the jaws 171, away fromposition belowl, the member 120 to a position over the second i .table35. In this recover travel of the block 160, the` plun er 164 isautomatically reset to I -cut off the ow of air from the yline 162. Thisresetting of the --plun er 164 occurs by its striking the cylinder 15 asan a'butment., The plunger 17 6 is raised simultaneously with therelease of the gear 17, by flow 'of. power air from the lines 6,' 134,135, 151, and line 151' to the lower end of the cylinder 174.

While the tooth engagement betweenthe -bevel gear 115 and the segment148 holds the blank mold sections at station three in the true verticalposition to permit the delivery of the blank ware therefrom. to insuremaintenance of the reverse vertical position while away from the segment148,'each .disk 116 (Figs. 11,12), is lprovided with a, notch 178into'which roller 179 entersv for yieldably acting to hold the rotatingparts against shifting. The roller- 179 is carried by bracket 180normally thrust upwardly by a spring 181' to have the roller 179 ride onthe disk 116 while the segment 148 is in control by engaginv the gear115, but at other times the. roller 1979 holds the disk 116 by engaginvthe notch 17 8. The bracket 180 is slid- .ably mounted in a guide182carried by the 'gear 17 disposed directly below each of the asks 116.

As the shifting: of theA various rocker valves permits exhausting of thepreceding power drive back through such'valves, thereis also exhaustprovision in ,the distributing `valve 39 (Figs- 18,` 19). lIn the valve'39 there is power fluid 'duct 183 which in the rotation of ported member184 brings ;exhaust duct 185 to connect the line 40' with l "nexhaustvent 186, and similarly for the sev- 'feral lines.

maapas' the lever,154 in position'for opening the' next 1 blank mold,while in the travel from this third or transfer station,l the segment148 completes the rotation of the blank mold sections 95, 96,'to bringthe finish sections below,- as at starting. During this orienting of thedisks 116, the blank mold sections 95,

96, are yieldably thrust forward toward closing position by the roller143 riding out of the short radius portion 150 'of the cam 147 carriedby the column 2 (Figs. 9, 10),

causing the links 140 to close the sections 95,

96, and by engagement thereover, also close the sections 1 17, 118, i'fthe springs 119 have not completed such operation. o

The line 187 has a branch 188 (Figs. 2, 11)

permitting power air flow to the lower end 'of vertical cylinder 189carried by bracket' 190 mounted upon the column 36 above the table 35This causes piston rod 191 to move upward into the cylinder 189 and rockangle. lever 192 to engage upstandingl pin 193 from crosshead 194,causing an outward travel thereof away from the column 36. The rosshead194 in this'travel operates through 'inks 195 (Fig. 17) connected toears 196 of'an opposing pair of finish mold sections 197 'mounted oncommon pivot pin 198. These half mold sections 197 are thus closed aboutthe suspended blank as held bythe jaws 171 at station three.

In the upward travel of the piston rod 191 in the cylinder 189, thepiston in the cylinder 189- opens a side vent to permit flow of,

Thel relatively slow recover travel of the` drive cylinder piston rod 24as regulated by exhaust valve 200 (Figs. 2, 3, 11), permitsin duesequence, flow of air from the distributing valve 39 by line 201 tothe-upper Vend of the. cylinderp189, thus' rocking the angle lever 192back clear .of the pin 193 on the next mold apparatus coming intoposition for receiving a'bl'ank at station three. The drive transmittedto the-table 35 from the intermediate gear 32 to the gear 34 on thecolumn 36, in the design ofthe appara tus herewith, takes two 60 stepsclockwise from the third or transfer station where the blank isreceived'from the' table 112. At

lthis second step position of the second table 35, orv the fourthstation of the machine, i

blowing'of the blank to. final bottle form may occur. In the travel fromthe transfer Lecense -167 permits such disposal of the inner or rightjaw member 171 when open, that the aro of travel of the ware blank ;fromstation three in the mold sections 197 is in no wise hindered should theneck finish or bottle lip protrude upward into the plane of such jaw. v

The blowing to final form of the ware may be timed with the recover orthe idle 'travel of the piston rod 24 out 'of the drive cylin-l der 23.Accordingly the line 47 (Figs. 2, 14) is provided with a branch line 202extending to fthe upper end of cylinder 203 carried by "arm 204 radiallyextending from the column 36 at station four. This forces plunger 205downwardly to rest onv the sectional finish mold 197 and have the checkvalve therein unseated by contact with the finished neck or lip of thebottle, therebypermitting power air from thev line'55` to flow-by line206 past reducing valve 207 to the plunger 205 to expand thesemi-plastic blank into finished form within the mold sections 197. v

A line 208 from the line 202 leads to horii zontal cylinder 209 atstation four, .to thrust its piston rod 210 outward of said cylinder'209 and radially inward toward the ctlamn ,36, in order that head 211may embrace projecting lugs 212 of the mold sections 197, therebyserving as a clampv for holding the mold closed during the blowingoperation.

' This cylinder 209 carries an arm 213 projecting over the head 211 as aguide therefor. The cylinder 209 is mounted on auxiliary bracket 214vertically adjustable by stem 215 mounted on bracket 216 (Fig. 14).

From the line 188 (Figs. 2, 14) extends a line 217 to the lower end ofthe cylinder 203,v

eifecting lifting of the' plunger 205 with automatic closing of thevalve therein for .cutting off blowing air flow from the line 206. Thisrelease of the finish blow head is accordingly timed with the withdrawalof the blow-back-up plunger withdrawal at'station two, as well as therelease of the gear 17.

The line 22 initiating the inward or drive stroke, of the piston rod 24,has through line 48 a branch 218 extending to the inner or piston rodend of the cylinder 209 at station. four, thus withdrawing the head 211from, holding the lugs 212'of the mold sections 197 together.Accordingly there is an v ing-of the apparatus to occur.

automatic release' of the blowing and holding mechanism of the apparatusat the finish blowing station,..per'mitting lthe step driv- However, theunclamping of the sections 197 as above described is so timed to lagafter the completion of the blowing operation' that the blowing air maynot open the finish mold. `By making the intermediate gear 32 with longteeth, the finish table gear 34 may be adjusted upward therealong topermit the desired location of the tablek 35 as to the length Thetake-off or fiftlnstation for the blown i or finished ware is hereinshown as two 60 steps from the blowing station. The power air line 5(Figs- 1, 2) hasa branch line 219 extending to the' upper end of thedistributing .valve 39 to be timed at 'the end of the drive strokeof-the piston rod 24 to permit flow from the valve 39 by way of line 220to the upper end of cylinder 221 carried by a guide radially extendingfrom a bracket mounted on the column 36 at station live. This air in theupper end of the cylinder 221' causes tubular'piston rod 223 to belowered.

The line 151 (Figs. 2, 20) has a branch. line 227 extending Vto theupper end of cylor fifth station, the cam 235 has a short radius portion236 so that the action of the vertical mold opening cylinder 228 may beeffective through the adjustable links 195 for releasing the ware.

The line 166 (Figs. 2, 20) has a branch line 237 extending to the lowerend of movable cylinder 238 suspended by the piston rod 223. The pistonof this cylinder 238 is fastwith the tubular piston rod 223, so thatthis power air forces this cylinder 238 downward. The cylinder 238 hasears 239 having downwardly extending therefrom adjustable yieldablelinks 240 connected to jaws or pincers 244 for yiolda'bly engaging theware just below the neck finish' The finished hot ware is accordinglyengaged by the pincers or jaws 244 at once the mold secwhich jaws 244 sohold the tions 197 open,

vtion to movable valve 246 and from the/nce by line 247 and pastlpartially closed 'valve distribnt- 248 to the lower end of the` cylinder221, f

thereby causing upward movement of the piston rod 223 with a lifting ofthe pincer engaged' ware clear of its support beneathV the mold. i

A line' 249 (Figs. 1, 2)- also from the distributing valve 39, and with.the line 245 properly timed duringidle travel of the piston rod 24, bysimultaneous power airsupfply by the line 155, extends tothe inner endof a. horizontally extending cylinder 250 to thrust its piston rod 251outward away from the column 36, and by al slide 252 movable in a uide253 carry the valve 246 andthe .cylin ers 221 and '238, as well as theware sustained thereby, out-ward clear of the table 35 to bedeposited onatravellin'g'endl'ess conveyer 254 (Fig. 1)."

The line 188- (Figs..1, 2) hasa branch line 2,60 extendin to the outeror' piston rod endof the cylin er 250 forv bringing back the deliverymechanism of this take-oii' device into a position over the table35 inreadiness for a repetition of this automatic operation in deliverinsucmeedi'ng bottles `or finished ware `away "orn'the machine..According'ly this recovery travel at the take off -is timed with theiv'thdrawal ofthe lock bar 14, for the line 227 is supp'lied from .theline 6, through the lines 134,- 135, 151'., 188. In this inwardtravel ofthe slide. 252, the plunger 257 of the valve 246 is 'reset by contactingthecylinder 250 as a stop.

The mold'sections `197in traveling the two steps-from the take-offerfifth station to the transfer or third station forreceiving a blank.from the Itable 112," are partially closed by 'cani portion,261 (Fig.17), while vafter being closed about theblank at the.

transfer station, in then riding therefron about the cam 235, a. spring262 about the rod 234 yieldably maintains thisclosed position. Thepartial closing of the finish mold sections 197 by riding on the cam261, leaves a minimum of opening for supplying the blank thereinto,while the remaining short travel distance for completing .the closingmay occur rapidly without seriously ham-` mering the sections againsteach other, for the movement is so slight.

A branch Iline 263 from hne 258 past valve 246 to4 quantity fthe packinghead 78- thereon as the shears the line ,220 (Figs. 2, 20) eitends` tothe lower end of the vertical cylinder 228, thus causing 'simultaneouslywith the downward travel of the piston rod 223, a resettin of the anglelever o 231 before the open mol 'sections 197 leave the take-offstation, so that this mold openng device is 'in readiness for operationupon the arrival ofthe succeeding 60` step delivered ware. A

The [various lines into the tops and through the' tubular vcolumns 2,36, and outbase openings 264, 265, (Figs. 6,- 20) below the platforms ortables may conveniently' be of regular while for faci ty'in. clearingor' ettingv about the elements ofthe various evices, as well asconnecting relatively' movable or adjustable parts, flexible ducts maybe more pipe or rigid metal tubing,

easily installed, and ,even hose-used, for a there is such control oftheheat radiation as not 'to in1ure the hose. The general ex! haustng ofthe ower air about the machine assists in dssipating the heat of themolten' glassin operation.

To 'operate the conveyer 254 (Figs. 1, 2,) intermittently'. with periodsof rest during the rest periods of the table 35, from the line 237,.there' is line 266 extending to vylinder 267 to give its plnnger rack268 driving strokes, while the idle recover stroke is brought, about byline 269 from thev line 245. The various'devices herein are so`inter-,Aconnected that the sequences atthe various stations may besimultaneouslyobserved automatically. The air line 41 which4 goes to thelock bar cylinder 7 to throw the bar 14 into position to hold the gear17, 'and thereby the gears 32` and 34, hasbranches to the cylinders 87,91, at station one .for the rest position holding to the cylinde'rs 87',91, at station one for the rest positionholding to the cylinders 122 and129 at .station'two for the rest position holding. This air -at thecylinder 7 has caused a shifting of' the? I lock bar rocker valve l20'sothat air may flow to effect the idle or recover travel 'off the -pistonrod 24; to the vc linders'209 and 203 at station fourfor t erest'position are withdrawn. The retarding valve 81 mayj be adjusted tovgive the-desired brief timing for ;this -packing of the charge in thesections 95, 96, with withdrawalof the head 78 followed by: retractioiof the pisllf aeoaeae taneously with the power air for driving stroke ofthe main cylinder 23. This power 'air so acting through the lower rockervalre 4 in efl'ecting the. feeing of the holding devices at thestations, also goes to the upper end of the lock barl cylinder 7 forreleasing the gear 17 and in so doing shifts the rocker Valve 20, notonly controllingr power air flow to the main drive cylinder 23 and thestation four cylinder 209, but in the recover or idle stroke travel ofthe drive cylinder 23 cares for the seq'uence of operations at theactive stations three and five. In the former, the slide 160 firsttravels (Fig. 11) outward and then the pincers 171 vact to engage theware blank atv the reversed blank mold. This is followed by a recovertravel of the slide 160 and deposit of the ware blank in a finish moldon the second table 35. At thn take off station, there is first asettling down to have the pincers 244 (Fig.

20) engage the finished ware` then there is' the lifting and outwardtravel ofthe slide 252 along the guide 253 to deposit the ware upon theconvcyer 254.

Supplementing this brief description of the operations as occurring atthetsevcral stations, there is automaticresetting of all of the devices,so that upon supply of the next charge of molten .glass at station one,there may occur automatically a repetition of the simultaneous cycles ofoperations with the due sequences. VVith the manual gatherings thesupply of charges at station one may occur as'rapidly as fifteen timesper minute. In full operation of the machine, when a-'molten glasscharge is supplied at station one, there is a partially formed or blownback up blank' at station two. a suspended blank ware at station threebeing delivered to a finish ware mold on table 35. A 60 step clockwisefrom station three op table 35 is a ware blank in a finish mold.At'station four, a ware blank is being blown into final or completeform. A 60 step clockwise from station four on table 35 is a blown andcomplete finished article of; ware. At station ve, a completed articleof ware is being removed from vthe bottle making machine or apparatusand being deposited on the conveyer 254 for delivery, say to a leer.

The vertical adjustment of the second table 35, with its gear 34 asreadily permitted by the long teeth of the internediate gear 32, in 4thetaking care of different lengths of ware, is,v readily accomplished bythe insertion or removal of washers below the bearing on the column 36sustaining the table 34.

The rocker valves may have the power air flow from the bottom 'inlet bygroove 291 (Fig. 16) about the rocker member with staggered branches292, 293, to lead therefrom so that in one position of the rocker one ofthe branches is in communication with a delivery line from the valve,while when the other position of the rocker shifts such first branch outof registry and brings the other into registry with' the other line fromthe valve.. In this latter position of the valve, assuming it tobe theposition of the parts in Fig. 16 with power air flow from the line 5, byway of the groove 291 and the branch 293 to the line 6, then the line 41may exhaust by port'294 to control duct 295, with which duct 295 theline 6 may be in communication by exhaust port' 296 at the otherposition of the rocker valve.

In coming to a position at station one,'as guided by the projections107. 108, from the guide 101, the head 297 (Fig. 15) of the travelingplunger 298 is lifted against' 'the resistance of spring-299 inauxiliary plunger 300, which auxiliary plunger 300 is also liftedagainst the action of spring 301 in the member 120. The auxiliarylplunger may, accordingly provide a supplemental seat or ledge on theinner side of the lip in structures where desired, as in milk bottles,for' the inner spring 299 acting'between the plungers 298, 300, willretain the outer plunger 300 in the ledge forming position, even afterthe outer spring 301 has withdrawn the inner plunger 298.l The innerplunger 298 has duct 302 therethrough permittng puff of air past thevalve 110 to lift the glass in its soft statesufficiently so that it maynot fall down into the region of the auxiliary plunger, 300 in thetravel from station one to station two. The spring 301 also'holds theinner 'plunger 298 out of the blank so it may not interfere withtransfer at station three.

Pin 303 (Figs. 11, 15) is -normally projected outward by spring 304 inposition for the plunger 176 to act thereon.

The retarding valve 81. (Fig. 21) has a plunger 305 therein, which ininitial operation ismoved by air from the line to clear the port, to theline `82 before air flow through the, line 82 occurs. The resetting ofthe plunger 305 occurs by power air from the line 85 which forces theplunger in the reverse limit of travel to clear the line 82.

The blow head 78 has a ball check valve 306 therein, unseated byplunger-'307 when the head 78 comes into position over the' i mold,(Fig. 23).

The plungers 164 and 257, respectively in the transfer slide carriedvalve 163 and the take-off slide carried valve 246 (Figs. 22, 24) mayhave adjustable stops as provided by the valve 163 in power air cuttingoff position at the inner limit of its stroke. The
